No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

How is the scope working out? I assume it's a 3x or 4x non-illuminated meant for a .22lr?
I've been doing well with a cheapo Monstrum 3x prism sight. It's got an illuminated reticle making its usable enough at close quarters while being handy for primarily outdoor play.
I really like it, and yeah, you were close! It's a 32mm non-illuminated scope with a 3x-9x variable zoom. And it is in fact meant for .22LR - I picked it up brand new for a measly 250 PLN (~$60)
Granted, I rarely, if ever, use the higher zooms, because neither my MP5 or my cheap sniper rifle are accurate enough to make use of that kind of magnification.
And that prism sight looks real nice! I don't mind having a basic scope, since I've gotten quite decent at hip firing at close range, so I'd rather have the added power a scope like that provides.
And since you've shared your build, I'll share mine, in my dingy old garage back when I was cleaning it.
That one's without the foregrip and the laser module attached. It's quite literally a poor man's G3, but hey, as long as it works.
EDIT: By the way, judging by the positions and looks of all the pins and screws and some other parts, I assume that's also a CYMA?
It is a CYMA. In retrospect, I think a railed grip like yours would have been more practical than my SD, but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock.
If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don't use lasers. Lasers introduce real world eye safety hazards, some more than others, but none of them are great. Especially cheapo lasers from aliexpress or wherever can sometimes be stronger than listed because neither the buyers or sellers tend to care. My laserbox is fake and is only an external battery compartment for the gun.
My stock is also foldable, actually! Emphasis on foldable, as yours looks to be actually collapsible.
Very, VERY valid point, and yeah, I don't use my laser at all, really - it functions as tacticool decor more than anything else. I forgot to mention it's a laser+flashlight module, with a function to switch on either or both, and so I always basically use the flashlight and nothing else.
I saw the button to fold yours but didn't see a seam, so didn't know if it was just fixed with some cosmetics. I really like bringing the stock in both for close quarters and even for being in the woods to very easily get behind the scope while wearing a mask.
I have a friend who got an MP5K and it is even better in close quarters.
